The USS Ronald Reagan, USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt strike groups operated together, marking the first time three American aircraft carriers have trained together since 2007, according to the U.S. Pacific Fleet which released a video of the training on Sunday. The carriers will conduct several training activities, including air defense drills, sea surveillance and defense air combat.

President Trump directly addressed North Korea in a speech at South Korea’s parliament on Wednesday, telling Kim Jong Un: “Do not underestimate us. And do not try us.”
